Our hire option is preferred by many schools where their financial budget is stretched or minimal capital expenditure is available. It also helps with financial planning, with agreed costs over a minimum hire period. Once the agreed hire period is reached the school has the flexibility to extend the hire contract if student numbers remain high. Alternatively, if student numbers decrease you can simply arrange for the temporary classrooms to be dismantled and returned to a Pickerings local hire depot.

Of course, if you wanted to purchase a modular school building Pickerings can provide that too. One of the many advantages of buying a Pickerings Integrum modular classroom is the option of creating an aesthetically pleasing design by choosing the finish of the external wall panels to either blend in or stand out from the current school environment. Pickerings offer a full turnkey solution to all our projects from design to maintenance after hand over.
